Scientific Background: SHANK proteins make up a family of scaffold proteins identified through their interaction with a variety of membrane and cytoplasmic proteins (1). SHANK proteins at postsynaptic sites of excitatory synapses play roles in signal transmission into the postsynaptic neuron. Studies suggest that Shank2 is expressed in the neurons of the developing retina, and could play a role in the neuronal differentiation of the developing retina (2). Other studies indicate that the disruption of glutamate receptors at the SHANK postsynaptic platform could contribute to the destruction of the postsynaptic density, which underlies the synaptic dysfunction and loss in Alzheimer’s disease (3).
